Rippon Rides Double

by Max Brand

Twenty years before, when he was a hard, mean kid and fond of a gun, Tom Palding had killed an unarmed man---one of the Barrett clan. Now the family was offering a large amount of money for some property Palding owned, and he wanted Rippon to ride to the Barretts' as his double. Palding was willing to pay five hundred dollars for five days' work, but the job meant that Rippon was in danger of getting his head shot off!

[Michael Bethany · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book except the ending felt quite contrived.
